Review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by Helohe — 20 Dec 2019

Does J.J.Abrams hate Rian Johnson? Because this movie sure feels like it. One may or may not like the previous movie. But trying (with force) to turn around everything the previous episode built up makes me cringe.

The visuals are stunning as usual and the acting is fine as well, there are even some elements of the plot which are ok. But overall it is a big disappointment. Like all Abrams movies it feels like tons of fan service crammed into a short as possible time.

The plot of the movie is boring. Basically again the same plot as previous movies. Nothing new or interesting happens. All plot twists are expected. The whole palpatine story is just pure cringe.
